注大乘入楞伽經 8.48

8.48

Because it was stated above that there are worldly, supramundane, and supreme supramundane phenomena, there are bodhisattvas, śrāvakas, and pratyekabuddhas who sever worldly saṃsāra, enter the bliss of the supramundane nirodhasamāpatti, and attain the sequential characteristics of the stages. Therefore, Mahāmati brought up nirodhasamāpatti and the sequential characteristics of the stages to inquire of the Tathāgata. He wished to illuminate the superiority and inferiority of the three vehicles, the noble and the ordinary, so that they might cultivate superior practices, realize the ocean of the Buddha fruit, and not fall into the expedient vehicles or the bewilderment of false views.
